Water safety is extremely important whether you live near the ocean or a lake, river or stream.  Even if a body of water is not close, pools and bathtubs can be dangerous as well.  One of the main objectives of Miller Swim School is to teach everyone who comes how to swim safely and have fun while doing it!

Miller was started as an idea in 1960.  Rita and Larry Miller were educators who managed a pool during the summer.  They noticed that many of the children could not swim effectively.  Larry, being the natural-born coach that he is, began to teach them to swim.  Before long, the parents were noticing how well their children swam.  Consequently, Rita and Larry began formal swim lessons.  They began renting high school pools and the dream of teaching water safety became a reality.

In 1995, the Aquatic Centre of Tulsa (aka Miller Swim School) was built.  The water temperature at the facility is kept at 89 degrees, the pool is grounded so that swimming can take place even during storms, and sophisticated equipment keeps the chemicals in the water at the optimum levels for complete safety.

A third generation of Miller swimmers came to  be in Gina’s daughter, Sarah when she proposed building a facility in Jenks.  In June 2019, a second facility rose from the empty lot and opened its doors with open arms to swimmers and would-be swimmers. 

For 59 years, the Millers have saved countless lives by teaching water safety in a fun and energetic manner.  Not only have they been right alongside their students in the water, but they have taught others their successful methods.

If you want to learn to swim or increase skills, come to one of the Miller locations.  Young or more mature, we can help love the water safely.
